Yesterday, 24 february 2020, Norwegian singer and entertainer Jahn Teigen passed away in Ystad hospital in Oslo.
Teigen is known to the Eurovision fans and audience for his three participations in the Eurovision Song Contest. In 1978, he sang the entry “Mil etter mil” and received no points at all, getting him the nickname Mr. Nul Points. Four years later, he was on stage again but not alone: he was accompanied by his former wife Anita Skorgan to sing the beautiful duet “Adieu”. One year later, she was a backing vocal for him when he sang the cheerful song “Do re mi”.
Teigen took part numerous times in the Norwegian final Melodi Grand Prix, the first time in 1974 and the last time in 2005. Teigen was 70 years old.
Eurovision 2026
Road to Vienna: Luxembourg
Road to Vienna: Luxembourg We cannot wait for the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna Therefore, we take a closer look at one of the contestants each day. Today, we highlight Luxembourg. Eva Marija: Luxembourg’s Voice for Eurovision 2026 Eva Marija Kavaš Puc, born on December 24, 2005, in Luxembourg, grew up in a multicultural Slovenian family. Inspired by Eurovision at a young age, she began learning violin early and later studied at the Conservatoire de Luxembourg. Her training in violin, vocals, piano, and bass shaped her versatile style, blending classical, jazz, and contemporary pop. From Young Performer to Songwriter By her early teens, Eva Marija was already performing live and writing her own songs. Her music focuses on emotional storytelling, authenticity, and personal reflection. She later moved to London to study songwriting, expanding her artistic vision and international influences. Music Releases and Artistic Growth Eva Marija debuted with “When 2 Lovers Meet” (2021), followed by “Toxic Trait” (2023) and later singles like “TIME TO GO” and “Sweet Child” (2025). Her sound evolved into a more mature, introspective pop style, earning her recognition in Luxembourg’s music scene. A Promising Future in Music Representing a new generation of artists, Eva Marija combines strong musical training with authentic songwriting. As she prepares for Eurovision, her steady growth and artistic focus position her as one of Luxembourg’s most promising emerging talents. Mother Nature: A Journey of Growth and Self-Discovery “Mother Nature” by Eva Marija explores personal growth and the path toward self-discovery. The song reflects how life evolves from simplicity into complexity, showing how challenges help shape identity and emotional maturity. Nature as a Symbol of Healing Nature is at the heart of the song’s meaning. It serves as a metaphor for renewal, balance, and inner strength. Just like the natural world, emotional healing is portrayed as a gradual and instinctive process. Letting Go and Finding Balance A central theme is learning to let go of doubt and emotional burdens. The song highlights acceptance, self-trust, and the importance of reconnecting with oneself to find inner balance. An Uplifting and Hopeful Message With its calm and introspective tone, “Mother Nature” delivers a positive message of renewal and self-acceptance. Eva Marija encourages listeners to embrace change and find strength through both vulnerability and connection to nature.
